The request was made in the wake of the start of investigations carried out by the Public Ministry of Goiás (MP-GO) into matches in Serie B. Last week, it was revealed that there are suspicions about six games of the Brazilian Serie A.
The CPI request was presented by deputy Felipe Carreras (PE), current leader of the PSB party and the largest parliamentary bloc in the Chamber. The tendency is for Carreiras to be the commission's rapporteur.
The request presented by the parliamentarian has the support of 216 of the 513 deputies, more than the 171 minimum signatures necessary for the creation of a CPI in the Chamber.
In the request, Carreiras cites an operation by the Public Ministry of the State of Goiás that investigates nine players suspected of defrauding the results of Serie B games of the Brazilian Championship.
The deputy is also the most quoted to report on the provisional measure (PM) that the government is preparing to regulate the electronic betting sector in Brazil.
